Still good to have, but too bad they couldn't just piggy back off of Brave's soft fork or something and keep the functionality.

It's probably not a total lie, a dedicated chip for specific calculations is probably the only way that we'll see major jumps in processing power for a long while. It can be really effective for highly specific stuff. But the headline itself is certainly pure clickbait on the Verge's and Flow's behalf.

I did read the article, the article that I shared, that explains exactly what I said: Scott Weiner campaigned to decriminalization knowingly spreading STDs while lying.

What did I say that was wrong?

Right wing disinformation? Lol

If you knowingly lie and spread an std through sex or donating blood it goes from a felony to a misdemeanor. Aka decriminalization.

I don't know how that's right wing. I believe most people across the political spectrum probably don't STDs, and especially don't want to get them because a partner lied or they got a blood transfusion.

I also hate how so many people jump to call something disinformation just because they don't like a particular fact. You calling it disinformation is in fact disinformation itself, and if everybody calls everything they don't like disinformation then society will have no idea what is true or not.

You have to specifically permit it on a per site basis, it's not like a website has those permissions by default. If a banner ad or forum post could enable that permission then they'd be able to access your camera as well as a plethora of other permissions?

I don't see any difference between downloading code to run in a web browser vs downloading and running ADB. In fact, running software in a web browser is more sandboxed and with more fine tuned permissions.

The only thing that I fear more than big tech is a bunch of old people in congress trying to regulate technology who probably only know of AI from watching terminator.

Also, fun Scott Wiener fact. He was behind a big push to decriminalization knowingly spreading STDs even if you lied to your partner about having one.

As far as I know that's nothing to write home about, monocrystaline solar panels get like ~30 years dropping down to 80% and then slowly begin to fail from there. I'm far from an expert, but my understanding is this is the norm and that if we found out they weren't lasting this long then people would be getting worried about a messed up cost calculous.

The ego of an Australian regulator that thought they could tell an American company what they could or could not distribute to non-Australians must be huge. (To clarify, twitter had blocked the video for Australians)

I know the US has a reputation for thinking it's laws apply everywhere but this is on a whole new level

"option likely to achieve the most positive outcome for the online safety of all Australians, especially children."

It's built by Google, but it's open source, and is probably the best optical character recognition by far. It's one pip/pipx installation away and I find it pretty useful on occasion. Same as WhisperAI by by OpenAI. Fully open source and one pip/pipx command away, probably close to the best audio transcription there is as well.

Not sure either count as AI, at least not AI chatbot kind of AI more like more simple algorithms, but they're great in the sense it's just another program but a very useful tool. Not some baked in copilot kind of deal
